As conversations around wellness evolve in Miami and across Florida, one topic is quietly gaining traction in chiropractic offices: CBD as a complementary tool for inflammation relief
From Little Havana to Tallahassee, chiropractors are seeing firsthand how this non-psychoactive cannabis compound can support recovery—without the high.
CBD meets chiropractic care
A patient once walked into Dr. Andrew Lewis Jr.’s chiropractic office barely able to stand, hoping for relief before his daughter’s wedding weekend. After spinal adjustments, Dr. Lewis applied a topical cannabidiol (CBD) product to help reduce inflammation. The result? The patient made it through the weekend—and returned Monday grateful for the relief.
Stories like this are becoming more common. Chiropractors focus on musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions through spinal and joint adjustments. Increasingly, some practitioners are pairing those adjustments with CBD topicals or patient education about oral cannabinoids to support healing from the inside out.
Unlike medical marijuana, CBD is non-psychoactive and does not require a qualified marijuana physician in Florida, making it more accessible for patients wary of THC’s effects.
A cautious, educated approach
Doctors like Dr. Lewis and Dr. Misty Green of Cape Coral emphasize that CBD isn’t for everyone. Responsible use is key. That means sourcing products from reputable manufacturers, reviewing clear ingredient lists, and verifying third-party lab results—often accessible through QR codes on packaging.
For patients who avoid medical marijuana due to psychoactive concerns, CBD offers a middle ground. Chiropractors see it as a complementary option—not a cure-all—that may help reduce inflammation and improve comfort alongside traditional care.
As Miami continues to embrace holistic wellness trends, this blend of chiropractic treatment and CBD reflects a broader shift toward integrative health solutions grounded in education and transparency.
